💵#SB323,🍎#SB761, & 🎓#AB934 have all crossed the 1st step and are moving forward to Appropriations! Thank you @SashaReneePerez, @SenatorAshby, & @AsmMarcBerman for championing these transformative higher ed policies for CA's students. SoCalCAN is a proud cosponsor of all three.
We are proud to support The Protecting Sensitive Locations Act of 2025! We have witnessed the chilling effect the rescission of the sensitive locations memo has had on our schools and communities. Thank you @RepEspaillat & @SenBlumenthal for taking action!
Thank you to @RepEspaillat and @SenBlumenthal for reintroducing the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act! Everyone deserves to feel safe when taking their children to school, the doctor’s office, and child care.

Thank you @AsmPacheco for your leadership and Senate Judiciary Committee members for supporting #AB1160!
The Protecting Students from Creditor Colleges Act has cleared the Senate Judiciary Cmte! 🎉
#AB1160 aims to shield students from the economic harms associated with institutional debt — debt owed to higher institutions — and extend critical consumer protections.
Thanks to @theSBPC, @CharlieEatonPhD, and @NextGen_Policy for all of your support and collaboration. #EndShadowDebt

The Legislature passed a budget that protects key services for CA. While I am disappointed #CalGrantReform will not be implemented this year, I want to thank all those who continue to work with the Legislature on this issue. Our work to expand access to education is not done.
Grateful for @AsmDavidAlvarez & @AsmMikeFong championing #CalGrantReform. Despite no funding in the #CABudget, we remain dedicated to college affordability. The work continues next year with @CAgovernor & #CALeg to fulfill the promise to students! 🔗Read: bit.ly/4cbM4Mr

Today, the Legislature passed the 2024-25 Budget.
This budget preserves funding for our schools and financial aid for college, including middle class scholarships and begins implementing #CalGrant Reform.
I am proud of the Legislature's work to protect access to education.
Join us in urging @CAgovernor @RobertRivas_CA & @ilike_mike to keep #CalGrantReform in the final state budget! Cal Grant Reform will help 137,000 more low-income students access higher education & secure a brighter future.📚

For students like Carmen, a #CalGrant means the chance to pursue dreams that once seemed out of reach. @CAgovernor, please include #CalGrantReform in the final state budget and open the door for thousands more! 🚀 #EducationForAll
